NOTATIO

What about a situation like this, where the coda is short (sometimes just one or two measures)?

1. Your title is quite close to the top of the page and almost resting against the top margin. Usually it would be at least twice the distance lower or more.

Since you are a guitarist, Dirck, have you read or have access to Jakob Ortner's Kurzgefaßte Gitarre-Schule ? I ask because Jakob Ortner was Karl Scheit's teacher so perhaps we can trace the guitar clef backwards from Karl Scheit.
